The All Progressives Congress has accused the Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, of telling lies about the cost of Government House, the beds and the welfare of teachers in the state.
It accused the Governor of churning out lies to the public when he claimed his predecessor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, spent a whooping N50m on beds in his and his wife’s bedrooms at the newly built Ekiti State Government House.
Fayose, had also on last Monday while administering oaths on the newly appointed Secretary to the State Government, Dr Mrs Modupe Alade and other Special Assistants branded the “N3.3bn” worth Governor’s Lodge as ill-conceived project and a misplaced priority.
He said the building was too expensive for the state to maintain considering the level of poverty in the state.
Fayose berated Fayemi for spending such amount of money on a building when the masses were facing serious hardship and challenge of abject poverty added that it will cost a sum of N150m maintenance annually.
The party said the statement coming from the Governor that Fayemi was after self-comfort was a tissue of lies and cheap propaganda.
It challenged Fayose to release independently verifiable documentary evidence to proof his claims because no bed in the lodge cost more than N2m, adding that the money spent on the government house was less than N2bn.
It maintained that Fayose was the one deceiving the people because he bought a N43m Range Rover vehicle on credit as Governor-elect and passed the bill to Fayemi’s administration only for him to deceive the hapless masses with a 1965 Mercedes Benz as official car on his inauguration day!
“If there is any Ekiti Governor past or present who is after self comfort but pretend to be a friend and lover of the masses, it is Mr. Ayodele Fayose. ...Punch
See series...This Ekiti drama will not end anytime soon.
